Occupying one of Sydney’s most spectacular positions, located around Farm Cove on the edge of Sydney Harbour, is The Royal Botanic Garden Sydney. Established in 1816, the botanic garden offers the opportunity to explore, view and enjoy some beautiful plants, some dating back to the start of the garden.

As well as the established flora and plantings, visitors can enjoy some of the many floral exhibitions and display that are put on through the year.
